It Came From the Baby Shower...
August 12, 2009 In my inadvertently controversial baby post a while back, I told bakers that there's really nothing creepier than uber-realistic baby cakes.
Turns out, I may have to amend that a little.
Realistic? No. Creepy as all get-out? Ohhh yes. Little sweet pea here has a face only a stocking-clad bank robber could love - and may, in fact, be related to the giraffe family.
Disaster can also strike when a baker takes a cutesy saying just a little too literally:
Unless this family really is only growing by two baby appendages. Huh. I suppose they could keep them in a jar...And finally, this one proves that a cake doesn't have to have an edible baby on it to give people the willies:
Yep, when you see something like this you reeeally have to stop and think: Why oh why didn't they stop with the bassinet? It looks like Ashlyn is encased in icing Han Solo style.
Thanks Michelle B. & Julie Anne D.; these babies are reeeally something.

Totally agree that the baby feet cake looks like a c-section. It's bringing back painful memories. I had a breech baby (thus a c-sec) so for a moment in time, that's what my stomach looked like--a big slit and two baby feet.
OK, go enjoy your breakfast, folks.
These remind me of the "It's Alive" movie, major creepy!!
My baby shower is tonight...I know the host well enough that I can trust no cake like this will be on the table. But I wait with what little breath this baby leaves for me to see just what IS there.
The Ashlyn cake was most likely not submitted by the baker but that is the display cake on their website: http://www.leesonscakes.net/gallery.php?id=63&mode=1&cat=Baby%20Shower%20Cakes
OMIGOD! IT'S LOOKING AT ME!

There is another G? WOOT! I grabbed the capital letter first. Yes!
Jen, please, forgive me, but I absolutely had to share this absurd sentence from a student paper with someone with a sister sense of humor.
\"The female hormone level will never be as high as when the birth streak cascades up a woman's belly.\"
You might cry foul - clearly this . . . gem . . . has been ripped from context. But trust me. Context doesn't help.
From the same paper: \"My experience reveals with all the diamonds and a new willingness to change mark the beginning of the final phase.\"
Did you know I have a text file which is just for these kinds of sentences? Whenever I need cartharsis, there it is.
